Don’t forget God, migrant families urged
CARDINAL Luis Antonio Tagle
challenged migrant Pinoy families
to be true to their faith and mission
even in a foreign land.
IN one of his talks in Sydney during his
visit to Australia, the Cardinal posed the
question on why some Filipinos tend to
forget their faith once they have successfully migrated to a richer country.
The cardinal said that many families
pray a lot, go through novenas, “pray for
their visas to Australia to be granted” but
once they are settled in Australia “they
spend more time in an RSL casino.”
The charismatic cardinal was in a brief
visit to Australia where he spoke in a series of forum on Catholic families and the
call to holiness. He was also conferred
with an honourary doctorate by the Aus-
tralian Catholic University in Melbourne.
In Sydney, Filipino-Australians
trooped to the forum and to the Mass presided by Cardinal Tagle at the St. Mary’s
Cathedral and at the Our Lady of Fatima
Parish in Kingsgrove.
Many Pinoys were happy to see Cardinal Tagle – often dubbed by the media
as the ‘Smiling Cardinal’ – and not a few
managed to take selfies with him.
“I’m so happy to see Cardinal Tagle,
he is a very refreshing figure in the Philippines with his simplicity and friendly
manner,” said one excited Pinay from
